quality standards. The specific problem is:

Essential improvements
Since the release of the engine's source code, various source ports have been released. See the link above for details and recommendations.
- Chex Quest 3 uses ZDoom-specific features, and as such requires a ZDoom-based source port.
Designed for compatible source ports that support widescreen resolutions. In addition to removing the brick patterns that appear on the side of the bar when upscaling it, it also helps prevent graphical glitches that sometimes occurs from the upscaling process. Some source ports may require adjusting the status bar upscaling size manually in their respective options menu to retain the intended aspect-ratio.
